A Bench to Sit on

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

“March, when days are getting long,
Let thy growing hours be strong
To set right some wintry wrong.”
~Caroline May, 1887

Blue and White

Blue skies and snowy white waters
The sun burning ever more hotter
To bring the winter to its slaughter

Blue Shadows

The March sun high up in the sky
Painting tall shadows with a blue dye
Across the snowy bed letting them lie

Pale Moon Rising (Daily Photo) One

I see the pale moon rising
Beyond the dark horizon
For some, it is a phenomena surprising
Some say, it is a time for an uprising
Time for organizing and mobilizing
Some just stare at the mesmerizing
Event of the day most tantalizing
For me, it’s the most tranquilizing
A moment most stabilizing
My soul, neutralizing

Manic Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Tree Line

Painted with the finest ink
Added a little hue of pink
The colouring book of nature
Quite a spectacular feature
Across the evening sky

Grey

Is it a smoke?
Is it a gun?
Is it a pipe?

It does not poke
It’s not even fun
It’s just a hype

It’s a piece of art
